Adobe finally released the RTMP protocol to the developer community, so reverse engineering it should no longer be needed if you wanna work with the flash networking protocol, but cannot afford Flash Media Server or are not working with a flash client.

This is great news, because now we (programmers) can all use the more difficult AMF0 and media streaming features of it!
We should be seeing an increase in live streaming applications now.
It has been ages since I last posted cause I have been really busy working on a 3d world in Unity3D to which I cannot yet show you a link, but you can see the presentation Paul gave on it here: http://www.adobeusergroup.nl/site/list_messages/270
Anyway as most flash developers know, in flash player 10 any sprite can have a 3D rotation and position to create the illusion of 3D. Now, I wanted to test out the latest version of the google maps flash api, so I figured why not throw the google map on a plane in 3D space and see if it still works.
Amazingly enough: it does!
